Good idea, interesting topics on that page, 
but that domain is bad for reasons starred (***):

*** Google is sniffing IP numbers, & stupidly setting various section
headings to German here, eg:
	top right blue `Anmelden' button
	Alle Beiträge
	Über diese Community
	Kommentar hinzufügen...

My browser has a German IP number,  but no Lang. env vars, as confirmed by:
	http://www.berklix.net/cgi-bin/printenv
		HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE="en-us,en;q=0.5"
		REMOTE_HOST="p5dcbcd73.dip0.t-ipconnect.de"
		TZ="Europe/Berlin"

*** 	that didnt have an open door to NSA.
